This is already the sixth year that Ichiraku Ramen has been opened, but it is still extremely popular. Mr. Taira and his three little bean curds waited in line for half an hour to buy delicious ramen, and they had to take it away to eat outside. , because there is no space at all in the store.

"You three." The dean continued to comment on the battle just now while eating, "Itachi has nothing to say, he has a solid foundation and brains, and his skills are indeed good."

"Thank you for your advice, teacher." Itachi lowered his head, and then received a chopstick on his forehead.

"I'm not giving you advice." Headmaster Taira said, "I'm not afraid of your pride. I just really praise you. You are worthy of the name of Uchiha genius."

"Teacher, don't just praise Itachi!" Jing Xingxing said, almost praising me and showing it on her face.

"Hmph." Of course the dean saw it, but he deliberately pretended not to see it and turned his attention to Shidu, who had been silent.

"Shidu didn't show much strength this time, but his shuriken skills are great, and he can seize opportunities very accurately, which is good. Let me see your other abilities next time you have a chance."

Shidu smiled sheepishly, "Itachi-kun and Ah Jing did a good job of attracting attention."

"What about me?" Jing finally couldn't help but asked openly.

"Ah Jing, you have the biggest problem." The dean said half seriously and half jokingly.

"what……"

"First of all, your speed is too different." The dean raised a finger, "And you don't pay much attention to skills. Maybe you don't know how to do it. Anyway, in my eyes, your skills have huge flaws. If today Without reliable companions like Itachi and Shido, you would probably have died hundreds of times."

Jing was a little confused by what he said, and Itachi sighed silently when he saw her like this.

"Teacher, Jing really hasn't received any systematic training."

"Is that so?" the dean raised his eyebrows, "Judging from the current situation, you can still have this strength. Your talent may be the best among the three, even surpassing Itachi. But if you continue like this, you will It's just a waste of your talent. It won't be long before Itachi and Shido will leave you far behind."

"I understand, teacher." Jing frowned and said seriously, "I will work hard."

"Boys can be taught!" The dean smiled and rubbed Jing's head, and suddenly relaxed his tone, "Also, you Uchiha..."

Jing suddenly became energetic. This was the first time someone said she was an Uchiha! Her eyes were bright, and then her head was hit with ice.

"You Uchiha, what kind of thing is used for the powerful fire ball? Huh?" The leader crossed his arms, "Earth style is really good, but fire style is too bad. Look at Itachi's powerful fire ball. Look at your little broken ball, I can’t believe it’s actually a technique.”

Shidu was serious about eating noodles, and Itachi was also serious about eating noodles, and he was trying his best to keep his head down and pretend to be transparent. He would never say that he was afraid that Jing could not catch this technique and deliberately controlled the power. If he used his full strength, his fireball would be almost twice as big as Jing's.

"...But I'm just not good at fire escape." Jing cried and took a sip of soup.

On the first day they got together, they disbanded a little late. Jing and Itachi walked to the Uchiha clan together, but they refused to go home and refused to let Itachi go home. They dragged him to the training ground.

"It's already very late..." Itachi said helplessly, "That's it for today."

"I won't waste your time!" Jing pulled him to the lake, "Quick! Give me a ball."

ball? Itachi took a long time to realize that she was talking about Hao Fireball. He had no choice but to follow her words and suddenly heard another sentence before he spoke.

"No more water is allowed!"

……Fine.

Itachi's huge fire ball was much larger than the one Shisui had casually released as a demonstration. The bright and hot flames reflected most of the lake, making the surrounding woods clearly visible.

He remained silent for a long time, and after a long time, Itachi heard a helpless sigh.

"This is Uchiha..." Jing smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, please go back, I won't send it away."

When Itachi returned home, Sasuke had been coaxed to sleep by Mikoto. Seeing his eldest son return, the gentle mother showed a warm smile.

"Itachi is back." Her voice was a little soft, "How are you getting along with your companions?"

"very good."

"Is Ah Jing easy to get along with?"

"Shizuya is fine." Itachi sat at the door and changed his shoes, but the smile on his face moved slightly at this moment.

Of course, the attentive and gentle mother noticed the slight changes in her son. She could see that his smile was sincere, but there was something hidden under the sincere smile that was also real. She didn't speak immediately, but walked over and sat next to her son.

Almost immediately, she noticed the abnormal swelling on the back of Itachi's hand, but she still didn't ask immediately. She just sat like this, just like when Itachi was still as big as Sasuke.

"Mother." Itachi finally said, "Do you know Jing's father?"

"I know him." Mikoto straightened her wrinkled clothes, "There was no one in the Uchiha clan who didn't know him back then. Shuyi-kun also had a very beautiful sister named Mingyi. At that time, many people in the clan were chasing her. Well, it’s a pity that she died on the battlefield later.”

"Is that so?" Itachi was originally curious, but under Mikoto's gentle and gentle voice, he suddenly didn't want to continue asking.

"Mother." Itachi tilted his head and looked at Mikoto's gentle eyes, "What do you think is an Uchiha?"

"This question..." Mikoto's eyes moved from Itachi to the moon in the sky outside the door, "Uchiha... are a glorious clan."

"We have superb shuriken techniques, powerful fire escape, and the proud Sharingan. We have a long history, and we are one of the founders of Konoha!"

"How is it? Are you satisfied with mother's answer?" Mikoto's gaze returned to Itachi and she narrowed one eye again.

"...I thought only my father would say such things."

Itachi looked at his mother, a little dazed. Mikoto couldn't bear it any longer, hugged her eldest son and kissed her hard.

"Itachi is so cute!"

"Mother!" Itachi blushed, "I'm older."

"Yes, older, seven years old~" Mikoto drawled.

"Mother!"

"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Mikoto touched Itachi's head, "What I just said was for your father."

"If I were asked to understand what Uchiha is, externally, I would say that, but internally, I can only say that we are members of the same clan and are relatives."

"Some people say that the trigger for opening the Sharingan eye is strong emotional stimulation and hatred. I think that is correct, but the reverse is also true. Because without love, where can the hatred come from?" Mikoto looked at her gently. The eldest son looked at the entire family, the entire clan, "Uchiha, they are a loving clan."

"At the beginning, many people didn't understand and even laughed at Uchiha for taking in Shuyi, who had 'betrayed' Uchiha. Some people thought that Uchiha had evil intentions and wanted his power, but no real Uchiha would think so. .”

"Because... love?"

"Yes. Even when Shuyi decided to marry into that family, although everyone laughed at him, most Uchiha supported him."

"Because of love, how can it be possible to change just because of a last name?"

Yes, it's just a last name. Itachi stood up with a smile, "I understand. I'm going to wash up. Mother, please rest early!"
